Global Agenda: More Impressions
Feb 1st
After just a few days in the Global Agenda ‘Head Start’ event, I can tell this game will be one I’ll be playing for a bit. Some things I noticed instantly were: A) How easy it was to get set up on Hi-Rez’s website and download the game via steam. (Not sure if I’ll have to re-download anything upon launch Monday, Feb 1st but I’m not worried about it either.)

1. PVP and PVE balance
Dismiss one play style or the other at your own peril. There is a reason that games like Call of Duty have single player campaigns, and World of Warcraft has battlegrounds.

I’ve been in Global Agenda’s closed beta for a few months now, and I must say that the game has progressed nicely in that time. The starting tutorial went from being something very short to one that is very well fleshed out and can take about half an hour to get through. I recently went through the tutorial as the Recon class and took the video below.
